Haiti’s Food Problem

For anyone interested in the food crisis in Haiti, or in other parts of the world, read this article. It is a fairly comprehensive explanation of the problem with an emphasis on Haiti. Take a look at it.

Our Schedule

We just thought that we would let everyone know what our schedule looks like. We had planned on coming home on May 8th, but because of all the things that we have to do while we are in the states, we decided to bump up the coming home date by a week. Here [...]

Life At The Bay

Here are two fun pictures:
Last week we got a really heavy rain that put close to a foot of water all over the campus. This resulted in lots and lots of mud. So in an Oregon Trail fashion we put on our mud boots and kept going. This is one of my [...]

We Need A Vehicle

We have had several people/groups who mentioned interest in helping us acquire some type of transportation to use here in Haiti. We are extremely grateful for the numerous people who have expressed interest in this need. Because we get asked about this a lot and because different people from varying parts of the [...]

Read this article from The BBC [...]

Update

If you ever do not hear from us for a long period of time you can just assume that we do not have access to the internet, but we are working on that. A lot of stuff has been going on in Haiti since we last wrote. Let us say that we are [...]

Michelet

This is Michelet , he is the boss on the campus and he and his family live in a house next to us. He is one of the funniest people I have ever met as this picture proves, and yes that is a “Member’s Only” jacket.

March Newsletter

Well another month has gone by and a lot of different things have happened.  At the beginning of the month the full-time staff took a retreat to the bay (you know you live in a cool place when other people want to go on the retreat to your house.)  Mike and I (Curtis) did devotions [...]
